Psychological thriller about adultery and murder by Campbell Armstrong.
Ted and Lucy are in love but are forced by circumstance into secret trysts, furtive meetings, and the occasional overnight in hotels when Ted can get away. Ted's sick wife is contemptuous of him, but how could he leave her at a time like this? The lovers will have to be patient. Then Cassie dies, leaving a diary.
From The Telegraph
Why is Lucy (Amy Clifton) dreaming about a ballet class where things go scarily wrong? Why is Ted (John McAndrew), with whom she wakes up, so keen to reassure her? They are clearly in love. They can have everything, he says. That’s what she wants too. But in the way is his wife, ill, on strong painkillers, unloving, no longer loved by Ted. So they must wait. But are they being watched? How much do they really know each other? Campbell Armstrong’s psychological thriller unwinds like a watchspring, taut, beautifully crafted and utterly inevitable.
